Well I really like some members' signatures.And I think they should make signature free for all members, at least for science advisors.

As much as i like avatars and sig's (I use them a lot in the forums i go to), but still here, i put myself in greg's place and think abt it, and i feel whatever he is doing is perfectly right. I was the head of the web development committee of my college (I have finished my college course and i will graduate next month and hence not part of the committee now obviously) and i have a fair amount of idea as to how much cost goes into maintaining an independent site. Our college was funded well, so it wasnt a problem, but with greg, that isnt the case. He needs to attract contributors and these perks are the least he could do to attract them. Even though most contributors here wouldnt mind these extra perks being made public, but just think whether greg would like it if he couldnt reciprocate the goodwill of these contributors in some way?? These perks wouldnt count much, but they indicate the appreciation shown by greg towards those who contribute to his project that is PF. As i said earlier, its the least he could do and i am perfectly ok with that.

Edit: For the record I changed it. Don't feel qualified to state that one about QM and besides I admire J. Bronowski a great deal. Remember "The Ascent of Man"? That 25,000 year old cave painting of a hand? As if to announce, "this is man, I have arrived".

Hey, but what about making just the 'signature' public? Anyway I am a college student and I don't think I will become a PF contributor just to get a signature of my own!
Signatures are nice and websites do provide them for free.

I am not trying to compare physicsforums with anything. I just want to say that I have been posting on this forum for quite some time now and several times I have felt that it would be nice if i could have one signature. But if not giving signatures helps physicsforums that immensely then it's ok. I don't mind it.
